Ancient Chinese Philosophies: Choose Your Life Coach
Daoism (Taoism): “Don’t try so hard. Nature’s got this.” Be chill, be balanced, and maybe take a nap by a waterfall.
Confucianism: “Follow the rules, respect your parents, and don’t talk back.” It's like turning your whole life into a very polite classroom.
Legalism: “Fear is the best teacher.” Super strict. Break a rule? BAM — punishment. Think of it as ancient China’s “no fun” policy.
Buddhism: “Life is full of suffering, but you can find peace… eventually.” Just breathe, be kind, and try not to get too attached to anything (even snacks).
In short:
🌱 Daoism says “Relax.”
📏 Confucianism says “Be proper.”
⚔️ Legalism says “Obey… or else.”
🧘♀️ Buddhism says “Let go.”
You will create a brochure on the philosophies of ancient China using Canva. You will research each philosophy to include information on the following: Founder, Date of Origin, Main Goal, Principle Beliefs, Life After Death, and Concept of God. You will also need to write an acrostic poem on the the Religions of China. Use the internet as well as the readings below for your research.
You may use a template. Make sure everything is neat and easy to read. Include images to enhance your design.
